Auction result well in line with expectations
The work Boys Playing Dice, A Presentation Modello by Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio was sold in the Old Master Paintings and Portrait Miniatures auction at Sothebys in London in April 2021. The price achieved of GBP 16,380.00 (€ 18,841.77) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 15,000.00 – 20,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Argolla Players in December 2013 with an auction result of GBP 266,500.00 (€ 320,558.17).
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
